Lifers - The Movie
They are in it for the pure love of it. The need. A craving and an urge to create and to exist by way of the riffs and melodies they shoot out into the world. To saunter through the streets holding their breath and to finally inhale and exhale when on stage. They are the Lifers, the artists who are in it for the long haul. Who dedicate themselves every waking moment to fulfilling the promise they made to themselves. To live their life according to their set of rules, damn the consequences. And now, there’s a documentary dedicated to a selected group of those Lifers. It's out on One Palm Productions and Seismic Sounds spearheaded by the one and only Matt Hartnett. Written and directed by Matt Hartnett and Tanner Poppitt. And it gives you two and half hours of pure dedication. It’s not just the Lifers who get to talk about their art and their life; it’s the manner in which it is so lovingly presented that shows that Matt and Tanner are Lifers too. They’ve clearly dedicated many long hours to this project and it shows. Meticulous and with constant courtesy to the selected artists they followed around… To hear them talk about what it all means to them and what they went through and go through on a daily basis, gives you the perfect glance into what these Lifers are about. We get to hear Ruben Romano (The Freeks/ex-Fu Manchu & Nebula), Trevor William Church (Haunt/Beastmaker), Erik Kluiber (Gypsyhawk/Void Vator/White Wizzard), Nacho Maldonado (Mezzoa) and Kip Page (Formula 400) talk at length about their Life and experiences and this glowing, searing, all encompassing passion for music. With cameo’s by a truckload of other Lifers that all shine an extra bit of light on certain aspect of the artists, their career or the manner in which the love for this thing we call heavy rock encompasses everything they do… Lifers, true dedication…
